Tony Hawk edges out Shaun White in 2010

Tony Hawk: Shred sold 300K units despite an average Metacritic score of 57, while Shaun White's Skateboarding sold a meager 120K units worldwide, with average Metacritic scores around 70.

Part of the reason is that Shaun White is more recognizable as a snowboarder, while Tony Hawk is a legendary skateboarder.

However, Hawk could hardly be happy with sales of 300K worldwide. The previous Hawk game, Tony Hawk: Ride, which came with the infamous skateboard peripheral, sold 1.3M units, despite being declared a failure. Shred used the same peripheral.
